Blogging is definitely not my second nature, which explains for the long lapses between entries, but the Lord has been so good to me that I cannot keep quiet.
It's been 10 months since I started my course here in France. I'm about 70-80% through with the course. The journey here is definetely harder and more challenging than Australia and I really never dare imagine that I would be able to come this far, much less graduate. There have been many ups and downs and there were times that I really thought that I wouldn't pull through those downs. And there are many times that I really was down spirited and discouraged. Being away from home and loved ones, I felt alone. The only source of comfort, relief and assurance I could find was from the Bible and prayer, pouring out my heart and soul to the Lord who hears.
The Lord was the one who comforted me and uplifted my spirits. He was the one who raised me up from my falls and set me on my feet. He gave me the extra strength and grace to scale those impossible mountains. He would never let me be tried more than what I could take. The Lord indeed is true and faithful and He is sovereign and able to keep! He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, the only true and living GOD! Praise His Wonderful name.
Let this entry be an encouragement and a reminder to all that, the only source of true comfort, assurance and joy is found in the Lord Jesus Christ, simply because He hears, Is Able and answers.
As you can see from the counter at the top of the blog, I'm near to the end of the course. God willing, I will graduate in about a month's time. Let it be known to all who reads this, that when I do graduate, it is solely by the grace, mercies and sovereign hand of God and not my own hard work or abilities. So let all praise and glory be unto the LORD MOST HIGH!
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." -Psa 16:1-3
"The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower." -Psa 18:2
"Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand." -Psa 37:24

"It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning, great is Thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul, therefore will I hope in Him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh HIM" Lamentations 3:22-26
